|    Fandom?    |

      From: howdHol@yaooho.com              Does anyone know anything in depth about fandom.com/wiki pages?              From time to time I'll search for a movie or show summary and they will       be one of the top sites that come up. I'm surprised by how many       extremely detailed wikis there are -- for example, I went there today       and they had a banner linking to a detailed wiki for American Gods, a       show that I don't know anyone has watched, with 200+ pages of plot       summaries, character pages, etc.              Who writes these? I can see how there might be some dedicated fans of       franchises like The Simpsons or the Marvel movies who take care of their       pages, but it's hard for me to imagine anyone cares about American Gods       or the Disney show Milo Murphy's Law enough to keep that kind of thing       running. It's not a few pages, it's hundreds for each one.              Are these run by PR companies working for networks or production       companies? Or am I wrong and there really are dedicated fans for all of       these movies and shows?              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
